The Jamie Oliver Foundation is governed by a board of trustees who have been recruited on the basis of their shared passion for empowering young people and their skills and expertise.

The board is chaired by Mike Trace. Mike is currently the Chief Executive of RAPT, one of the country’s largest providers of drug treatment services in the UK prison system. He has held senior drug treatment and policy roles within the British government, European Union and United Nations. He led the creation of the UK National Drug Strategy – Tackling Drugs To Build A Better Britain – and managed the first five years of its implementation.
